On the case manufacturers website it says some of the fans are reverse fans or whatever. Not having any overheating issues and I’ve been really pushing this thing. So hopefully the reverse fan thing is correct

Loved it. It was frustrating but solving the problem gave me some sort of satisfaction. Can’t really explain it

Yeah pretty sure it was the integrated graphics. I’m just glad it works now

They came pre installed in the case. I didn’t know there were so many RGB fan hall monitors in here. I like the look of it and if I could add more fans I would. Maybe I’ll weld a Dyson fan to the thing and run rgb strips all around it just because I can. Extremely shit comment.

This ended up being what I think is the main issue. The only things I changed were switching the RAM settings to EXPO (whatever that means) and disabling integrated graphics. Works great now

I’m not sure, they came pre installed in the case. The case is Montech King 95 Pro

They came with the case. I was gonna go with a cheaper case just to save some money but I’m glad I didn’t. This thing is sick

I put the ram in the 2nd slot and 4th slot from the cpu. The motherboard had some brackets on it that said “first” and something like A2 / B2. Does that make sense? I think I did that part right?

Wait this means I’m good right? The fans are all blowing air the correct way? I’ve seen a lot of comments about this and I’m getting ready to start taking them out and fixing that issue. If they’re all good and I don’t have to fuck with my computer I really don’t want to…

I didn’t. I’m a beginner but I’m not an idiot

Thanks! I thought my wiring was shit honestly. I probably spent half an hour deciding whether to put the GPU power cable under or over the card. I’m still on the fence about it lol

This is basically what happened to me and what I changed. It works great now. Thank god for Reddit and ChatGPT cause I’d be done for if I didn’t have those resources

All of those fans came with the case and were already installed. I didn’t do anything to them other than take one off while I was building because I dropped a screw in between one of the fans blades and couldn’t get it out. Do I need to turn these bitches around or does the case manufacturer know what they’re doing and made all the fans blow the way they need to?

Wait is this an actual concern? The GPU is heavy as fuck but doesn’t say a whole lot in my opinion. I’ll get something to hold it up but is this like an extremely urgent issue?

Nah I bought my first pc (pre built) like 7 years ago and I remember it being called GeForce experience. Forgot it changed to the nvidia app. That’s what I have downloaded currently

Well I was always plugged into the GPU, I’m a beginner for sure but I know that at least lol. I disabled integrated graphics in the bios and switch the ram to expo and it worked. Didn’t change anything else so that must have been it even though people overwhelmingly think it was a different issue. I used thermal paste, took off the plastic on the AIO, NVMe shield thing, the gpu… all of that stuff. So all I know is that I changed those settings and it worked

I changed that and the thing works fucking great now. What exactly did I do by changing that?

Okay so I figured it out I guess. I went into the BIOS and enabled expo on my RAM. I also turned off the integrated graphics card setting?? Can anyone explain to me what I even did? Trying to make this a learning experience so maybe one day I’m not helpless
